I’d like to use this post to encourage you and anyone else that reads it to help out with the crisis going on in Haiti. The earthquake has done unprecedented damage to the country and its citizens, and the entire country is in dire help of our need at a time like this. Here are a few of the ways you can help:
Apple has set up an iTunes Store page for Haiti donations. You can also help just by signing this petition: Drop the Debt petition. There are organizations like World Vision, UNICEF USA, and The Red Cross who are accepting donations. Google has also set up a Crisis Response page with an easy way to donate money to other legitimate relief organizations. There are even ways to text your donations, just check out CNN’s extensive list of organizations that are helping in the Haiti relief efforts. If you don’t already know about the earthquake disasters and aftermath in Haiti, here are some videos on the current situation.
It’s important to take a step back from our everyday nonsense sometimes and devote some time to things that matter. The situation in Haiti is just that opportunity. The text message plan set up by theh Red Cross that enables users to donate ten dollars to Haitian relief merely by sending a message to 90999 received millions of dollars overnight when it was launched, which undoubtedly has helped greatly. Still, the country is still in a horrible situation. Help out if you can.
